SC Praiense conducted good season, nevertheless, they slowed down at the finishing line: the side lost three consecutive games. As a result, after the main part of the season SC Praiense finished at the second place in the Zona Sul table of the Campeonato de Portugal Prio with 24 points earned and 16-14 goal difference just behind Real SC. In regard to the Relegation Play Offs, they were defeated at their own turf and now the team must win on the road. But SC Praiense show mediocre results at away fields: in 2017 the side recorded two triumphs, four draws and three losses in nine encounters.
Having won on the road, I believe that Leixoes will convert their previous efforts in the final triumph in front of their fans saving their place in the Segunda Liga.
Prediction for the match: Leixoes to win.
